In the north-eastern part of Armenia, at the meeting-point of the three picturesque valleys, on the banks of impetuous river Aghstev is the resort of Dilijan. Its vast territory occupies the woody gorges of the Aghstev basin and its two tributaries. The cliffy mountain slopes and peaks, deep gorges and splendid primeval forests stun with their beauty. An Armenian saying states: "If paradise had mountains, forests and springs, it would look like Dilijan".
